Transfer payments? MORE transfer payments? That is the last thing on earth the United States of America needs, and for the administration to suggest more welfare — because that is what it is — suggests that they are unserious about the deficit and the debt. And for JD Vance to spearhead this wrongheaded policy just…

This is an absolutely moronic take on a massive degradation of our civil liberties. It’s difficult to underestimate the stupidity of this author, who seems to think that there is some balanced equation between our God-given, natural rights, and the destruction of those rights on the altar of safety. Do Flock Cameras Actually Work? It’s…

Cultural suicide is all the rage in Europe these days, with the UK and Germany busily destroying themselves, and France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Spain not far behind, all fighting for primacy in the race to surrender to the left and to Islam. They have also run full-tilt towards a “carbonless future,” even though the…

A college education used to be a useful thing. At its most basic, it confirmed that the holder of a degree was minimally capable of some complex thinking, and had a basic understanding of history and literature and science and mathematics. It also indicated some skill at planning and prioritizing and communication, in particular in…

I have been consistent in my denunciation of the tired and discredited idea that American boots on the ground is a reasonable response to Iran’s 47 year war against the West, in particular America and Israel.

American professional sports leagues have morphed into America-hating, international-focused organizations that seem hellbent on destroying the history of their sports and their deep connections to American culture.

Football and basketball —the upstart games — Similarly entered our culture, with basketball…

The idea that Socialism is just another political philosophy is embedded in a certain segment of our country. You know…the morons. “Sure! Let’s try it out! Maybe it will work!” These are the ignorant among us who never learned a damned thing about the evils of socialism, because their teachers were crypto-socialists…or as is increasingly…

Every second that goes by weakens the Iranian attempts to control the Strait of Hormuz. There are multiple projects underway to create the infrastructure to bypass the chokepoint of Hormuz, and not just pipelines that bypass it. Shale oil, fracking, horizontal drilling, vast improvements in techniques to maximize production in existing wells, reopening huge oil…

The Soviet Union had a captive audience…nobody could leave with their money or their infrastructure unless the party allowed it. Communist China is the same way, as is Cuba, and North Korea, and Venezuela, and… And leaving Krasnoyarsk for Tomsk, in the hope of more opportunity didn’t work either…the laws under which the subjects of…

Contrary to the breathless reporting about this event, Laurence Fox’s stunt…threatening to display a cartoon of the 7th century pedophile Mohammad… is actually a perfect example of Islam’s ascendance in the West. Fox is not a brave man fighting against the encroaching darkness of Islam; he is an observer pointing out that Islam has already…
